“Me and Brennan, we were hanging out a lot prior to this fight, at all the other events. In his last victory I was at ringside, with his girlfriend, his family, his coaches and I was celebrating with them. So it was a difficult situation for me at first to fight him,” he said.
“To get a victory, it was kind of mixed emotions. The first two minutes was running around like a headless chicken and going crazy. And then I look across, and I see his girlfriend, she is crying. It was hard. I just hope he is okay.”
